There is an image
of you
in my Mind
I make believe it is you,
I can not see your face
Make-believe will have to do.



Then even though you may not
appear What I picture
you to be,
The words you write
upon the screen
Make you so very dear to me,



Through these words
we have become
The very best of friends,
Words that stay
within my heart
With caring that never ends.



You start my day
With a pretty page from you.
Then end it
with a gift, my friend
When our day is all but through.



You send a card each day
Even though we are far apart,
With words of hope and friendship
Words right from your heart.



If I could reach into this screen
I would extend my arms to you,
I would thank you for
being the friend you are,
So kind and good and true!
